I am new to Regular expressions, so I am trying to figure this out. I wrote in a plain .txt file in Notepad:

Description1 This is a test of a description. Yay Description2.

I then used this regex in order to search and return the text between (But not including) the words Description1 and Description2

"(?<=Description1\\s).*(?=\\sDescription2)"

It works just as intended. But now I need to find a way for the regex to read linebreaks, so if the description is written like this:

Description1 This is a test of
a description. Yay Description2.

It will still return what I want it too. Ive done research, a lot of people say the same thing. Do Pattern.MULTILINE or Pattern.DOTALL, as well as adding (?S) at the beginning of the expression (In this case likely before the .*), or/and typing [\n\r] or something similar. I've tried many combinations of these things and nothing seems to work, it always says there is no match. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the code I am using by the way. It is mostly taken from a homework assignment, but I am altering it for a personal project I am starting.
